This excellent textbook offers a unique take on relativity
theory, setting it in its historical context. Ideal for those
interested in relativity and the history of physics, the book
contains a complete account of special relativity that begins with
the historical analysis of the reasons that led to a change in our
view of space and time. Its aim is to foster a deep understanding
of relativistic spacetime and its consequences for Dynamics.
This is a textbook addressed to students in Physics and other
people interested in Relativity and History of Physics. The book
contains a complete account of Special Relativity that begins with
the historical analysis of the reasons that led to a change in our
manner of regarding the space and time. The first chapters are
aimed to afford a deep understanding of the relativistic spacetime
and its consequences for Dynamics. The chapter about covariant
formulation includes the concepts of volume and hypersurfaces in
manifolds, energy-momentum tensor of a fluid, etc., and prepares
the language for General Relativity. The last two chapters are
devoted to introduce General Relativity and Cosmology in a modern
approach connected with the latest discoveries in these areas.
